Book review: National Geographic Kids' newest 'Almanac 2021' is a fun fact and trivia read

We've had a few National Geographic Kids' almanacs in our home over the past several years. And these books never disappoint. This year's Almanac 2021 is divided into 11 sections that cover a wide, I mean WIDE, range of topics.

Readers will learn about exploring, animals, nature, space, science, cultures, history, geography, and conservation. And, not to be forgotten, this book also has games and crafts!

I really appreciate the games and hands-on ideas Nat Geo intersperses throughout so many of their books. Those fun items often help my kids gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the topics associated with them. Also, having fun while learning is always a bonus!

I also love that each page of Almanac 2021 has so many color photographs. I have no idea how scholars learned as much as they did before the wonders of photography. Seeing what you're reading about makes learning much better, in my opinion.

Reading this book was such a delight. And having this volume in my home has been wonderful for my kids. Readers can learn about pangolins, hole punch clouds, germs, world holidays, and even learn some origami! And guys, I barely scraped the surface of all the knowledge packed into this book.
